Description
San Pietro in Vincoli (St Peter in Chains) is a Roman Catholic church and minor basilica in Rome, best know for being home of Michelangelo's statue of Moses, part of the tomb of Pope Julius II. It was first built on older foundations in 432-440 CE to house the relic of the chains that bound Saint Peter when he was imprisoned in Jerusalem. The Empress Eudoxia presented them to Pope Leo I. According to legend, when Leo compared them to the chains of St Peter's final imprisonment in the Mamertine Prison in Rome, the two chains miraculously fused together. The chains are kept in a reliquary under the main altar. Michelangelo's Moses (seen in the far end of the photo) was originally intended as part of a massive 47-statue, free standing funeral monument for Pope Julius II. The original envisioning of the monument was never completed.
